  • Which is fair. Trump has indeed not been convicted of the crime. The court of public opinion would disagree but until a legal decision is handed down we should presume innocent until proven guilty.

    As for the links I found the first to be about a House resolution for impeachment based around Biden’s handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan and some comments he had as Vice president related to it. The second is an opinion piece conflating the withdrawal with giving aid to an enemy. As the withdrawal provided the Taliban an opportunity to return to power. Nevermind that Trump started it in the first place. It seems the GOP “plan” is to throw shit at the wall and see what sticks.

    There are plenty of things to dislike Biden for but this certainly ain’t one of them







  • According to latimes "In his veto message, Newsom said expanding benefits would make the state’s unemployment trust fund “vulnerable to insolvency.” California’s unemployment fund already is projected to be nearly $20 billion in debt"

    From what I read that's largely due to the pandemic and fraud. Business closures and layoffs meant a record number of applications. Since the state couldn't pay for all of it it had to borrow from the federal government.

    Can't say I blame him for not wanting to add to that debt but at the same time would unemployment benefits for, let's say a month, really have of added that much to that debt? I haven't run the math and I definitely can't tell how many would be eligible but it really does seem like it would be a drop in the bucket
